Native BINI

BINI Token → Overview covers allocation, emission, sinks, and where to buy.

BINI as gas

Every BiniChain transaction pays its gas in native BINI. This is the same role ETH plays on Ethereum — the native currency that pays validators / gets burned.

	Ethereum	BiniChain
Native currency	ETH	BINI
Token contract	Native (no contract)	Native (no contract)
ERC-20 wrapper	wETH	wBINI

Acquiring native BINI

Three paths to get BINI on BiniChain:

1. Bridge from Ethereum

The BaiDEX bridge (when deployed) lets you convert ERC-20 BINI on Ethereum into native BINI on BiniChain at 1:1.

ERC-20 BINI on Ethereum  →  Bridge  →  Native BINI on BiniChain (1:1)

This is the primary path for users who hold ERC-20 BINI from CEX purchases.

2. Buy on Binibit Exchange

binibit.com/en/exchange?symbol=BINI_USDT sells BINI as ERC-20. Withdraw to BiniChain (when supported by the exchange UI) — bypasses the explicit bridge for some flows.

3. Bridge B (off-chain rewards → native)

If you’ve earned off-chain BINI in the Bini App (quest rewards, lottery wins), use Bridge B at Level 7+ to convert at 1:1.

Wrapping and unwrapping

To use BINI in BaiDEX pools (V3 LP positions), you wrap it to wBINI (ERC-20):

// Wrap: native BINI → wBINI ERC-20
await wbiniContract.deposit({ value: ethers.parseEther("1.0") });

// Unwrap: wBINI ERC-20 → native BINI
await wbiniContract.withdraw(ethers.parseEther("1.0"));

1:1 conversion, no fee.

Gas cost expectations

Typical transaction gas (subject to BiniChain final settings):

Transaction	Gas	Cost (at chain gas price × $0.12 BINI)
Native BINI transfer	~21,000	~$0.005 (illustrative)
ERC-20 transfer	~50,000	~$0.012
BaiDEX swap (single hop)	~150,000	~$0.036
AgentT Launchpad spawn	~500,000 + spawn fee	~$0.12 + fee
LP position mint	~250,000	~$0.06

Numbers are illustrative — final gas economics depend on chain config + actual gas price.

Block reward and burn

BiniChain validators earn block rewards in BINI:

Block reward = priority fees + (optional) emission

Per the BINI emission schedule, the Rewards pool (60% / 600M BINI) is allocated over 4 years. Some portion of that may flow to validators as block rewards (final policy TBD). The base fee (EIP-1559 style) is partially burned — sink #1 in BINI Sinks.

Native BINI vs ERC-20 BINI

	ERC-20 BINI (Ethereum)	Native BINI (BiniChain)
Address	`0x445d03f499f1c150615957bb87588fb465fc91cc`	No contract — native
Used as gas?	No (ETH is gas on Ethereum)	Yes
Tradable on CEX?	Yes (Binibit, Azbit, Blynex)	Indirectly (via bridge)
Stake on Binibit Exchange?	Yes (160% APR)	No
Used in BaiDEX pools?	Bridge to wBINI first	Wrap to wBINI
Total supply ceiling	1B (combined with native)	1B (combined with ERC-20)

The 1B supply is shared across both representations. The bridge maintains the 1:1 peg — at any time, total ERC-20 + total native = 1,000,000,000 BINI.
